Price setting sights on Van Gerwen's World Number One spot: "I hope I beat him in the final!"

Gerwyn Price has set his sights on Michael van Gerwen's World Number One spot which is a realistic possibility after the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship.
Price is dreaming of beating Mighty Mike to claim not only the Sid Waddell Trophy but the top spot in the Order of Merit.
It is Peter Wright who is currently poised to end Van Gerwen's reign and if he beats the imperious Dutchman's run, he will take over a spot he has held for seven years. But for 'The Iceman' who faces Brendan Dolan next, if he wins the title, he will claim it.
"It is realistic," said Price. "I think about it, I'm sure Peter thinks about it and I know for a fact that Michael is thinking that if he loses, he loses that top spot and he doesn't want to do it.
"Fair play to him for playing the way he did in his first game. I know it's a lot of pressure on Michael's shoulders to not lose that number one spot.
"He's had the pressure of number one for the last couple of years so I don't think it will affect him, but it will be in the back of his head.
"I think he'll get to the final and have a good run, and I hope he does because he's the sort of player I like to play - I hope I beat him in the final!"

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
